Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, and some great Food and Drink Festivals.
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
Halloween is upon us as well as the Dia de los Muertos (aka Day of the Dead) and California has TONS of these celebrations (I marked them with a Skull and Crossbones on the map).
While I tried to list those Dia de los Muertos festivals with food vendors, entertainment and more, there are likely some that I missed. So, if you know of others not listed, please let me know about them.
I’d be happy to add them.
Along with these celebrations, I noticed some great Food/Drink Festivals going on this weekend, including…
- the Pomegranate, Fruit and Nut Festival in Madera
- the Pistachio Festival in Newberry Springs
- the Winters Salmon Festival
- the Sushi and Sake Festival in Los Angeles
- Beer Festivals in Corona and Santa Ana
Plus there are Markets, Pride Events, a Hula Competition/Festival, Cook-Offs, Porchfests and more!
Be sure to take your time when going through the festival listings below. And use the Map to find festivals around you.
If you have family and friends (or if you travel) out east in any of these states…
…please know that I write weekend festivals posts for this area as well.
This week, this area’s weekend fests can be found at https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/festival-weekend-110324
For Ohio along, weekend festivals can be found at https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-weekend-110324.
I hope you find both the new California Festival Guide and this series of weekend posts helpful! Feel free to contact me any time and give me your feedback.
Until next week…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
